Event catering near Lower Morden

Lower Morden is about 2 miles north-west of Sutton, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Lower Morden or on the outskirts, festival paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cook in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. We cook right across the region, from Lower Morden to London (9 miles away).

Events in parks such as Cannon Hill Common need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for. School fairs, for a school like Aragon Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

How to compare caterers

Step by step

Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Lower Morden have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Let us know the timings for the day

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
  • Agree waste arrangements with traders
  • Give traders a single information pack
  • Book crew catering in advance

We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch, following your trader pack.

Vegan paella alongside the rest.

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many guests are eating
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Waiting and bar staff

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Expected numbers
  • Where the event is

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

For event organisers in Lower Morden

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Details of power, water and waste arrangements
  • A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
  • Vehicle access before and after the event

Lower Morden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Live paella or other catering?

Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
